in reply to (OT) Have to press BACK button twice in IE to get back from an HTML page to a PDF!

First of all, if it is an off-topic thread, please prepend (Is prepend even a word? Think append to the beginning) "OT" to the title to signify it's off-topicness. Second of all, why use IE?

Regarding the actual issue at hand, I would say it is possible. A quick fix would be to have a link on the website go back two pages (this, of course, would not change the user having to press back twice if they use the back button on their browser. Also, it would be annoying to Firefox users).

Update: I may be misunderstanding your question. Do you mean to apply a solution that you use on your site, or a solution to apply to the browser?

    Sorry, have OT'ed the subject.

    OK, I use Firefox, but most of our clients use IE, so we have to keep them happy

    I guess I want the solution to apply to the browser. I want to have this solution work if the user is

  • using Internet Explorer and
  • coming from the PDF

    Cheers again! RS
